SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the manual and error-prone process of listing and terminating system processes, providing a safer and more efficient way to manage running applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List Processes: View running processes, with options to filter by a text pattern.
  • Kill Processes: Safely terminate processes by their Process ID (PID) or by a pattern, including built-in protections against killing critical system processes.
  • Use Case: If a specific application is consuming too many resources or has become unresponsive, you can use this skill to quickly identify and terminate its processes without risking system stability.

Quick Start

Use the process manager skill to list all running processes that contain the word "node" in their command.

Frequently Asked Questions about Process Manager Skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely kill a process by pattern without stopping critical system processes?

To safely kill processes by pattern, this skill uses standard Unix utilities like pgrep and ps with built-in safety checks. It prevents the termination of critical system processes while securely ending unresponsive applications matching your specified text pattern.

How can I list running system processes filtered by a specific command name?

You can list running system processes filtered by a specific command name using this skill's pattern-based filtering feature. It retrieves process information via standard Unix utilities like ps, enabling you to quickly view and identify targeted running applications.

Does this process management tool require any special dependencies or environments to run?

This process management tool requires no special dependencies. It operates as a command-line interface utilizing standard Unix utilities like ps and pgrep, making it compatible with standard system administration environments without needing additional setup.

What is the best way to terminate an unresponsive application consuming too many resources via CLI?

The best way to terminate an unresponsive application via CLI is using this skill to identify and end its processes by Process ID or pattern. It provides safe process control to stop resource-heavy tasks without risking overall system stability.

When should I avoid using a pattern-based kill command for system administration?

You should be cautious using a pattern-based kill command when your text pattern is broad and might match unintended targets. This skill mitigates this risk by applying built-in safety checks against critical system processes to prevent accidental system instability.
